Joe Rogan is back in the spotlight — and this time, he’s got Meghan Markle in his crosshairs.
In a fiery new podcast episode that’s already setting social media ablaze, the outspoken host of The Joe Rogan Experience took direct aim at the Duchess of Sussex, accusing her of clinging to a royal status she no longer truly holds. Rogan didn’t mince words, calling out what he sees as contradictions, media manipulation, and performative victimhood.
“You can’t bash the monarchy every chance you get… and then still walk around like you’re the queen of California,” Rogan said, sparking both laughter and controversy.

The topic came up during a discussion on celebrity branding, and Rogan jumped in with his signature bluntness:
“She’s not a working royal. They walked away, remember? So why does every headline still say Duchess this, Duchess that? That’s like quitting your job at NASA and still calling yourself an astronaut every day.”
He continued, mocking the couple’s “rebel against the system” branding — while still using titles and royal associations for influence and media leverage.
📉 Contradictions in the Spotlight
Rogan’s commentary echoed a long-standing criticism that Meghan and Prince Harry have weaponized their royal connections, especially in media deals, documentaries, and public appearances.
He pointed out the irony of criticizing the British royal family while profiting from that same legacy — noting that Markle’s image often leans into the elegance and mystique of royalty, while her public narrative is often about trauma and escape from that world.
“Either you’re in or you’re out,” Rogan joked. “You can’t slam the door shut and still peek through the keyhole every time Netflix calls.”
🔥 Reactions: Not What You’d Expect
While many of Rogan’s fans applauded the takedown, calling it “long overdue,” the broader internet reaction was deeply divided:
- Supporters said Rogan “nailed it” and praised his boldness.
- Critics accused him of bullying, misogyny, and punching down at someone who has already faced relentless media scrutiny.
The moment has reignited the royalty vs. reality TV debate, with many questioning how long Harry and Meghan can capitalize on titles they’ve technically left behind.
🎥 Clip Goes Viral
A clip from the episode has now gone viral on TikTok and Twitter, with millions of views and thousands of fiery comments:
“Rogan just said what half the world has been thinking.”
“Why is he obsessed with her?”
“She can still be a Duchess and also be human. Stop acting like she owes you royalty.”
Even some royal commentators weighed in, noting that Meghan technically retains her title, but no longer holds any active royal duties — making her status more symbolic than formal.
💬 Final Word
Love him or hate him, Joe Rogan isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and this latest jab at Meghan Markle proves it. While some say he’s finally calling out the contradictions in her public image, others argue it’s yet another celebrity piling on a woman constantly under fire.
Either way — the internet is talking, and Meghan Markle is, once again, at the center of the storm.
